In a statement on Saturday, an ITV spokesperson said the broadcaster had investigated rumours in early 2020 but “did not find any evidence of a relationship beyond hearsay and rumours”. Holmes, who now hosts GB News’ breakfast show after departing This Morning with Langsford in August 2021, tweeted: “4 high members of ITV management knew what sort of man he was …and NEVER once took action to prevent him controlling or taking advantage of his position over young people.” The show’s editor, Martin Frizell, ITV chief executive Carolyn McCall and the broadcaster’s director of TV, Kevin Lygo, have all been in the firing line about whether they covered up the relationship. Holmes and Wootton have called for ITV bosses to come clean about what they knew.
